PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 24, 2014--
MULCO® SUPRA ELITE™ is the first sealant of its kind for PPG
Industries’ (NYSE:PPG) that is both a low volatile organic compound
(VOC) sealant and also provides a bubble free seal. Additionally, it can
be used for interior or exterior application and delivers a smooth and
seamless finish for users.
“We are excited to add another high performing sealant to our Mulco
sealant portfolio,” said Ken West, director of PPG Architectural
Coatings Adhesives and Sealants. “The bubble-free finish will
differentiate the Mulco brand in the low VOC sealant marketplace.”
This new product is positioned to meet the most stringent Canadian
regulatory standards for VOC levels within the foreseeable future.
Unlike its competitors’ low VOC products, Supra Elite’s finish is
flat and does not bubble or blister, even under harsh conditions or on
porous/ non porous substrates like vinyl, wood and fiber cement siding,
whilst maintaining excellent adhesion and performance.
Additionally, Supra Elite sealant has exceptional adhesive power
that creates a durable, waterproof seal, which increases protection from
weather, eliminates drafts and improves energy efficiency.
Unlike latex and rubber based sealants, the Supra Elite product
by PPG uses water on surfaces and in the air to cure. During the
process, this formula prevents shrinkage and provides a more reliable
seal that will be less prone to drafts and water leaks.
Available in a wide range of colors to match the most common substrates
and siding materials, Supra Elite sealant joins the Mulco
product portfolio and will be sold exclusively through Canadian
industrial accounts.
